Solving a system of differential-like equations for reverse Euler-Maclaurin summation

Aim A particular instance of a rational zeries that has as of yet not been evaluated is: \begin{align} Z:= \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} \frac{\zeta(2n)}{(2n)!}. \label{EM1} \tag{EM1} \end{align} This sum c …

What rational zeta series with non-integer arguments appear in mathematics?

Background Rational zeta series are series of the form $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} q_{n} \zeta(n + p, m), \label{1} \tag{1} $$ where $\zeta(x,m)$ is the Hurwitz zeta function and $q_{n}, \ p \in \mathbb{Q} …

Is there a residue sum formula in quaternionic analysis?

In complex analysis, there is a formula involving the residues of complex functions that one can employ to find the value of certain infinite series. If the function $f: \mathbb{C} \to \mathbb{C} $ sa …

Has the "partial Sophomore's Dream function" been studied before?

We can consider the generalized Harmonic numbers $$H_{n,m} := \sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{1}{k^{m}} $$ as a partial version of the Riemann zeta function, because $$\lim_{n \to \infty} H_{n,m} = \zeta(m). $$ …

Pairs of functions with $\sum_{n} (f \circ g)(n) = \sum_{n} (g \circ f)(n) $

I was wondering there there are any pairs of functions $(f,g)$ such that $$\sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (f \circ g)(n) = \sum_{n=1}^{\infty} (g \circ f)(n) $$ on condition that they're not commutative with re …

What is known about sums of the form $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}[\zeta(n)-1]^{p} $?

A fair bit is known about rational zeta series. This includes identities like $$ \sum_{n=2}^{\infty} [\zeta(n) -1] = 1 . $$ Many more identities can be found in articles by e.g. Borwein and Adamchik & …

How can collections of rational zeta series that are equal to $\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} (\zeta(n)...

It has been discovered long ago that $$\sum_{n=2}^{\infty} \big(\zeta(n) - 1\big) = 1. \label{1} \tag{1} $$ More recently, a generalization of this result with binomial coefficients has been obtained: …
